Late Night Hosts Remember Legendary Don Rickles with Emotional Tributes

As BWW reported yesterday, legendary comedian Don Rickles, best known for his abrasive, insulting brand of humor, has passed away at the age of 90. His longtime publicist, Paul Shefrin, confirmed that Rickles died Thursday morning at his home in Los Angeles from kidney failure. He would have turned 91 on May 8th.

Rickles was a popular guest on late night televison, appearing on both THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JOHNNY CARSON and DAVID LETTERMAN, as well as the current late night offerings such as JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE, LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT, LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS and TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON. Last night, the hosts took time out of their opening monologues to pay tribute to the comedian. Check out the clips below:
